...Of Death-demo (TEXAS)

Well, the cool thing about this post is that this CD has no cover. So I ain't gotta scan sheeeeeeeit, bitches! In fact it was a cd-r, with the band name written in magic marker, handed to me at a show probably 9 years ago. Im thinking they didn't make very many of these demo's, I don't know.

...Of Death were a grindcore band from the DFW region if I remember but maybe it was Denton. Anyway good luck finding info about these dudes. I don't know if they put out anything, but I'm thinking there is a 7 inch out there. If you know then please post the info. EDIT- well, since i gave it a listen and on their "jam session" track they shout out rep's to "funkytown" aka Ft.Worth so I guess that settles that little mystery. I originally hail from Ft.Worth, in fact I was born in Haltom aka the land time forgot or aka the shittiest place on the face of the Earth. Then again, I never have to go there ever ever again, since all my family is dead. AWESOME!

About the vocals......yes, that singer was indeed a male. I can verify that by the fact I saw his penis. In fact I've seen all the bands peni. So did everyone else. See, these dudes liked to play their grindcore "au naturel" aka "buck fucking naked". I remember seeing them play with Page 99 (pg99) here in austin on a rooftop way back when, which was a bad ass show and both bands tore it up. PCP roadblock form Richmond Va played too if i remember right, but maybe that was a different show. I don't recall, well.. this was "back in the day" and by "back in the day" I mean I was drinking whiskey and doing cocaine, anything less would be uncivilized, so you have to excuse me. Maybe you can refresh my memory?

Ok, about the band, if you like Discordance Axis, Melt Bananna or the high pitch guy in No Less you'll love this band. The singer pretty much sounds as high pitched as any male can possibly be... at pretty much all times. Its like a small child being uh whats it like...hmmm.. I don't know, something that is painful. Maybe a child getting his nutts smashed in a vice or hit with a hammer. Something like that. Musically it sounds like grindcore. You know, sometimes its slow and heavy, and sometimes it blasts non-stop and has lots of riffs. Throw in a few 90's style mid-tempo hardcore parts and you got yourself a demo! If you like 90's style grind and power-violence then you'll like this.

Also by "grindcore" I'm referring to grindcore as the musical style played by punk rockers and hardcore kids, not the style played by guys that look like they just walked out of hot-topic or a video shoot for the shittiest band in the world.

holy shit dude! I WAS AT THAT SHOW!!!! I can't believe that shit... that show was awesome man...I have that cd-r, and actually, it does have a cover. I will try to remember and scan it and send it to you. You still live in Austin?

i actually do have the cover but its up in a box in my closet i think with the cd, i think it was red and either xerox'ed or drawn with a magic marker. im just lazy and didnt want to look for it so i made up a bullshit story about not having a cover, thanks for blowin it dude! aha

maybe i know you? im justin, i use to play guitar/vocals in "mayday", bass in "show me on the doll" and bass for awhile in "condemned unit". now i do my own shit, american terrorist experiencewww.myspace.com/amterrorxpwww.amterrorxp.com

A leaden stride to the blogosphere

Cephalochromoscope means grindcore and generally noisy, fast-as-fuck punk, or all that but at the speed of a tectonic plate. Also reviews, interviews, and all that jazz. And actual jazz. Hey, if you like the music and it's still in print thus making it possible for you to do some fine record shopping, feel free to do so. Let me know if you wish to contribute. Submissions are not really welcome or unwelcome, but I can't really promise when / if a post will be made anymore; in any case, use the e-mail address below, be as fast (/as slow) as possible with your music, don't be damn generic, don't expect a "hey this is x from x and they're fucking awesome" post, and try to provide relevant info with cover art instead of continuing the undying, ever-uninspiring contest in global half-assedness. [I do hate to be professional.] For any bands and/or labels with objections, please send your complaints to my e-mail address (otherwise, we might simply reupload!):zmajeee (at) yahoo.com

It is nice if people leave a comment or two every once in a while. Also, by downloading from this blog you automatically acknowledge Discordance Axis as the best band ever. This being the most important rule of attaining blastbeatitude. Just sayin'.
